Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDYNAMIC MODELING AND GAIN SCHEDULING CONTROL OF A CHIILLED WATER COOLING SYSTEMJun Liu, M. ZaheeruddinA dynamic model of a Chilled Water (ChW) cooling system with a stratified ChW tank was developed. A PI-based Gain Scheduling (GS) control strategy was designed to improve thermal performance of the chiller system. Five different operation strategies were simulated and the energy consumption and cost of operating the system under full load and partial load conditions were compared. The … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 15 Oct 2014 · 7,010 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Control Techniques for the Role of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Abuse in HIV/AIDS Treatment DynamicsBassey Echeng Bassey, Adagba Odey HenryFrom the studies of HIV/AIDS transmission and treatment dynamicsusing mathematical modeling, literature reviews have shown that attention hadnot been given to the behavioral attitude of screen-aware infectives not readyto receive treatment, HIV-aware infectives that initiated treatment buttruncated only to resume treatment later (therapy abuse) and those onconsistent treatment protocols. Moreso, following the non-outright eradicationof the deadly HI-virus, recommendations have been … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2022 · 5,819 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConstrained Modified Genetic Algorithm for Optimizing RICE Climate Change Model PolicyHaitham OsmanThe objective of this paper is to use evolutionary algorithm for policy making to help in decision support, the Regional Integrated Climate-Economy (RICE) model for the dynamic climate change is used to optimize the tradeoff policy between abating of carbon dioxide emissions to reduce global climate change and in the other hand the resulting in economic damages. A Constrained Genetic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 10 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,508 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMaximally Distant Codes Allocation Using Chemical Reaction Optimization and Ant Colony Optimization AlgorithmsTaisir Eldos, Waleed Nazih, Aws KananError correcting codes, also known as error controlling codes, are set of codes with redundancy that allows detecting errors. This is quite useful in transmitting data over a noisy channel or when retrieving data from a storage with possible physical defects. The idea is to use a set of code words that are maximally distant from each other, hence reducing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 5 Nov 2015 · 7,000 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCONGESTION MANAGEMENT BY OPTIMAL ALLOCATION OF FACTS CONTROLLERS USING HYBRID FISH BEE OPTIMIZATIONS. Thangalakshmi, P. ValsalalThe role of Independent System Operator (ISO) in the restructured power industry includes system control, capacity planning, transmission tariff and congestion management; the challenging task being minimizing the congestion. One of the popular techniques used to alleviate congestion is using Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. The power system generally operates near its rated capacity in deregulated market because of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Apr 2014 · 6,645 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN ALGORITHM FOR MINING USABLE RULES USING A HOLISTIC SWARM BASED APPROACHVeenu Mangat, Renu VigEvolutionary algorithms are capable of finding near optimal solutions to problems which are intractable to solve using conventional methods. One such problem is to accurately classify patients using rule mining methodology while controlling the size of output rules. A massive amount of data pertaining to medicine is generated and recorded daily. Uncovering useful knowledge and assisting decision makers in the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2013 · 6,667 accessesView PDF Cite
